diverse range of products and which provides an ideal backdrop for
FieldProtect's introduction.

and Agriculture, in 2021, agricultural exports surged to $22.5
billion, a 7% increase from 2020, while organic product sales
reached $14.0 billion, marking a 16.4% rise from the previous year
and underscoring California’s commitment to sustainable farming on
over 2.13 million acres.
Dan Sztybel, CEO of Save Foods Ltd., expressed
enthusiasm about the approval, stating, "This approval by the CDPR
is a testament to the safety of FieldProtect. We are eager to
introduce our technology to California's agriculture, and start
